Use Text Links To Increase Affiliate Sales
Is it important where you place your affiliate links on your blog? I mean, can’t you just stick up a banner or a sidebar link and watch the sales come in? Now you know better than that!
Where you place your affiliate links on your site can really make a difference on how many clicks you end up getting. And since every click means a potential affiliate sale, where you pace your money making links is a vitally important aspect of internet affiliate marketing.
Research has shown that the most effective affiliate links are text links. That’s right, plain old boring text links. Not those big flashy banner ads that beg for your click, just simple vanilla text ads.
So if you are truly interested in improving your affiliate sales, write some solid articles with one or two text links to your affiliate product embedded into the article. This allows interested readers to see the link as they are reading and click on it. You may not get rich this way, but I do guarantee an increase in the number of affiliate sales you receive.
Of course, your article and your link have to work effectively together to make this happen. A bad article and an unrelated link to an unknown product are not likely to make you any money. If you can’t write a good article, hire somebody to write it for you. You can hire a freelance writer for about three to seven dollars per article. And believe me, it’s always money well spent.
So the next time you are out to choose an affiliate link, try placing a relevant link in a great article that is well optimized for search engines and see how it works out for you. Don’t forget the importance of keyword rich titles to help improve your traffic. It’s simple SEO, but many times over looked.
